Proportional reasoning is a critical foundation for middle school mathematics, yet many students struggle with the transition from additive to multiplicative thinking. In this session, educators will explore multiple methods for teaching proportional relationships using concrete, representational, and abstract models, aligned with the Colorado Academic Standards. Through hands-on experiences, participants will examine effective strategies, common misconceptions, and ways to support students in building a deep understanding of ratios, rates, and proportional relationships. Educators will leave with practical tools to enhance instruction and help students develop strong proportional reasoning skills.
